On the Solarwinds server in the Start Menu, open the Configuration Wizard as Administrator. Follow the defaults and check Database when prompted and let it finish. The initial web console load after that will be a little slow as IIS rebuilds it cache.

I'd make sure that you have a credential defined and impersonation checked. Let us know what it looks like after you test.

What I've done in the past when I monitored a 2-node SQL failover cluster is this. 1. Create a Node in Orion using the cluster VIP. This is where I would monitor all of the shared resources (CPU, RAM, Disk and Application templates) 2. Create Nodes in Orion using each of the nodes in the cluster. I would monitor…

There are a handful of Lync/Skype application templates in Server & Application Monitor​ that could be used. There is also a feature request to improve those even further by creating a AppInight template for Skype for business.

Can you tell what linux mail package you're using? That would allow us to provide more specific answers since different packages would use different component monitors.

SAM is just pulling that from VMware. If you log into vSphere and look at the hardware on that ESX host it is probably saying the same thing.

From my understanding QoE does a DPI and correlates the ports being used to a list of common port types and what applications typically use them. e.g. port 80 = HTTP, port 1433 = MSSQL. If there are applications that are configured to use custom ports then they can trigger application types that might not directly…

Check out my answer for this recent thread. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/112739#367893 There is really only 1 alert for Netflow.

Unfortunately, there is not a way to unmanage or mute alerts for a specific component. The best way to do it today is on the entire application template or the node itself. The Unmanage Scheduling Utility can unmanage the nodes. Anything for muting alerts in a recurring fashion has to be done through the API. There are…

Do you get the same error if you right click the install file and choose 'run as administrator'?

You're on the right track. SolarWinds recommendation is that the NTA Flow Storage Database, often called FSDB, reside on it's own server/vm. The FSDB is based on a no-sql technology and was designed and is supported by SolarWinds. No additional license is required for it. What you would do is download the NTA installer and…

You'd just have to modify the script and use sudo for whichever command requires it. How To Monitor Linux With SSH And Sudo

This outlines how to do it in powershell, can be adapted for curl. POWERSHELL SCRIPT TO UNMANAGE NODE VIA REST API/JSON

What do you get if you follow the PRTG guide but when it asked for the IP of the PRTG server you enter your SolarWinds server? I don't think it matters where the guide come from as long as it works in the end.

Probably the easier thing is to look for a windows event log of that failed task and monitor that. Grabbing previous monitor states into current one isn't out of the box friendly. The only way I've heard of it done is with storing the previous state into a custom property through the API and reading it back out with a…

I'd first check if you can SSH into those devices using Putty on the SolarWinds server. Make sure it's working there. Then, another thing that I can think of is making sure the connection profile is using 'SSH Auto' instead of SSH1 or SSH2. This is a screenshot of editing a node and scrolling down to the very bottom. If…

Do you know if you have your reporting services listening on port 80 or another port altogether? You can change the port to want it's listening on. Or if that part of reporting services isn't being used then I would just disable the component.

This should be possible but would require some custom script to be built to get the info. Depending on your setup you could use something like nsloopup on Windows or dig on Linux. You'd just have to parse the results to see if they match a predefined list of IPs.

I have had similar issues with with out of the box cert monitor. I created my own to get around this since i stack ssl certs on a single host. SSL Certificate Expiration - SNI capable You can assign this to your server and if you expand the component monitor just replace the 'Script Argument' of ${Node.Caption} to the FQDN…

out of curiosity, if you install the windows agent to a handful of those machines does the issue still occur?

This is either an account limitation or a need to re-run the configuration wizard (CW) on the SW server. Running the CW will stop all SW services. I'd right click the CW and run as admin, when prompted select website and click next and finish the wizard.

The wireless heatmap feature only support Cisco Wireless controllers. Fortinet would be a feature request.

This should be available via SAM using the AppInsight for SQL template. When you click into any of the databases you can get more info. Clicking into any of the files gives you the historical trends. I guess this is all assuming you're using MSSQL.

The Virtualization Manager (VMAN) is a prepackaged virtual appliance. It can be deployed to VMware or Hyper-V. Once deployed and assigned an IP address browse to that IP with a web browser. If Vmware, you'll only add your vCenter server info. Once that is up then on your SolarWinds Orion web console go to Settings (All…

IPAM can already cover DHCP on linux, but it's specifically looking at ISC packages/config. ISC DHCP - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

This is probably best done in our Server and Application Monitor (SAM). Create a HTTP Monitor and assign it to that external website. If you're just needing something basic then this is what your alert trigger condition would look like. You could create a new alert and then in the Trigger Actions setup the email…

Right now the only answer is wait for Meraki to release a firmware update. They don't expose that level of detail via SNMP which means NPM can't read it.

You'll need to use network atlas variables. Here is a list of all available ones, the metrics you're looking for would be node based variables. In network atlas you'd add these variables into the node label. The screenshot below has a mix of text and variables. On the web console, when viewing the final map it'll translate…

I don't believe the agent is directly supported on Debian. Check out official support linux distro's here: Agent requirements Ubuntu is the closet thing. Are you trying to deploy the agent via the web console or did you download the install file and trying to run it local to the linux server? Any screenshots would greatly…
